Wood Nymph

Dryads are tree nymphs, but specifically they are Oak tree nymphs.

This nymph happens to be a Pecan tree nymph.

Made primarily out of paper and cardboard. Some wire was used for the branches and for her hair. And a few leaves were thrown in as well.

She is not quite finished but mostly so. I will post again when she is complete.

Epic Greek Vase

I made this vase in ceramics class.

...Epic

napkin sketch

I sketched this on a napkin in the caff. Winter is a much better time for drawing; there are more interesting hats and scarves in winter.

Efrim Phoenix Comics Logo

I designed these logos for a class. I'm imagining that one day my son will be a major part of the comic book industry.

This was my first idea

Then I decided to go a little darker

More Octopus

I added some orange to the octopus And really like how it turned out!



When I added the dark blue it looked pretty good, but in this photo I can see more of the unevenness of the water color. I'm wondering if maybe I should have used acrylic instead.





I like how it is so far, I think when the rocket is painted it will be even better.

octopus drawing

Finally doing something art again. drew this octopus on a blue water color wash. I have to play around a bit before i color it so i don't screw it up, but i'm thinking an orange spots on the octopus mayby? and a little space man with a lazer gun will go nicely as well.

beartato

I found my new favourite comic strip over at www.nedroid.com. Go there, seriously it is the best comic ever! so good in fact, I decided to make my own t-shirt. check it out!




That's Beartato of course! made with a screenprinting kit my art teacher gave me.

tyler in illustrator (w.i.p.)

So for some reason I decided to paint Tyler in Illustrator. I'm not sure why. just to see if I could do it?

Well, I've been working for several hours and here is what I have so far. I know, I can see those places too! I'm not finished. I just thought you might want to see. So, here you go.

doodle zine

The other day I learned how to make an 8 page zine out of one piece of paper. It's so cool! apparently my wife knew how to do this when she was like 7. Thanks addie for sharing this awesome cool project with me.

She made it up to me though by bringing me a book on making books called "How to Make Books" by Esther K. Smith. It is pretty neat, and makes me wish I were a much craftier person.

Anyway, I've been meaning to do a free doodle book thing ever since I saw these instant books and have finally gotten around to doing it. But stupid me used paper that was too big for my scanner to scan the whole thing and print a whole lot of little books.

Oh well, here is what I have this time.

This is the cover. Front is on the right side of the image, back is on the left. Yeah, it wraps around... I know, awesome cover design.



First and second page. Yes, second page is mostly blank. whatever.

3rd and 4th, and all of a sudden it's kind of sequential.


5th and 6th.

was gonna put something about me sucking at the harmonica on the last page... but then I remembered that my moon base totally kicks ass!

So the first page doesn't fit at all, but hey! it's a free doodle book! Why are your expectations set so high?!

damn critics!

illustrator stamp

This project was dumb. Who makes a stamp in illustrator? apparently Mr Cooper thinks illustrator students should! Oh and, no live trace. bah! stupid Cooper!



I also never realized how dumb out mascot looks until I drew it in illustrator.
